What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Rob_Broncowski]

The goodies are trickling in...
Hood struts, center console insert, rubberized license plate frames added... more to come!

Been contemplating the hood struts just to have them, I see they are a pretty popular mod. I don’t open the hood a lot but I miss the convenience of pop no prop.

Okay I did the first two...rubberized plate frames....*goes to spend more money*

I did put a generic black rubber (silicone maybe actually) frame. Makes it look like there is no frame at all. Used them on all my cars. Just makes a clean frame install. Contemplated a ‘bronco’ frame but there is no mistaking this bad boy for anything other than a bronco already!

AVS low profile window deflectors.

Removed the logo but put a little goo be gone stuff on it then just used finger nail to scratch it off.

I put in a makeshift rear cargo cover. A tension curtain rod with blackout curtains right behind the back seat with a cargo net by the opening. Drape the curtains over the cargo net as needed.

Installed the rear seat rubber mats on my 22 BS BL.

After some hassle at the dealer using my points to buy these, I finally got ahold of them. My points never showed up for buying my BS earlier this month, come to find out my dealer spent my points on a 'service plan' that allows me to get 'free oil changes'. After arguing that I never told them that was okay, and that they aren't 'free' if I spent MY points on them, the sales manager did whatever he did, and I walked out paying $0 for these. (Well I guess I used my points but there is technically no record of them being gained or spent on my Ford app).

Overall, love them, great for when I pack up the back with stuff for work!

After:

Man, I went today to buy the rear seat backing, and my dealer couldn't find the part number anywhere in their system, they told me try again in a few days... I found a thread on here that had a link to them on ebay with the part number, even though it was a generic ford sticker they couldn't not understand why they couldn't see them. Did you have that issue?!

Yup, had the same issue. They told me they couldn't find them and that that I must not have the correct part number. I was just really adamant I had the right part number (after verifying it through various other forum and Facebook groups, as well as an eBay posting from a Ford dealer). The guy had to end up ordering them through their vendor, and it took about 2 weeks to get in. Had no issue installing them, so I knew they were the right thing. The parts guy had me give them the vin number of my BS 'so I couldn't say they ordered me the wrong item for a wrong vehicle' or something stupid like that. Probably so I couldn't return them if they weren't right as they 'weren't for my Bronco'.
Something you could try and do is either try again to order them with that part number through another dealer (or the same dealer if you think they'll do it), or just tell them you have a 2021. I think it came standard on a 2021 and they may be able to see them on their end that way.
If you also don't mind ordering from eBay, just order them from that eBay listing. The part number I referenced to the parts guy was from the seller 'oemselectautoparts' on eBay. Part number was M1PZ7860032AA. I think through the dealer they were like $210 or something. Only $177 on eBay (though they take about a month to get in).

I highly recomend getting them, simple install, and it really cleans up the back. (Not to mention makes it much easier to clean the back!)

Thanks for getting back to me! Yeah me explaining to the parts department today that my bronco is a 22 but the part is for 21 but it will fit fine kind of confused them. But I knew from this forum I would be fine with it. I mainly just wanted to use my points, but since I spent mostly all of them on something else instead I may just go the ebay route and save the remaining points for service. I just double checked and i have the same PN saved as you so i think ill be okay. You just had to snap off some plastic on the mat to get the button to show or something right?!

Had Falken Wildpeak AT3W 235s put on at Discount Tire. They decided to add a 12 in. slash to the sidewall of a factory tire so waiting for them to replace so that I can sell the Pirelli factory set.

So the rubber mats go on via a button like system. From the factory your seat backs will have the buttons covered with a plastic protection insert. They pop off. Some pop off with your hand, but I ended up using a plastic pry tool to get them off because after a few they hurt your hands. But be careful because if you pry to hard you’ll brake off some of the plastic around the button snap on the seat back. I broke about 1/8th of one of the lower buttons but I was still able to attach the mats no issue, I was just careful after that. Easy install, and pretty sturdy once installed. But easy enough that if you wanted to pull them out for a good cleaning it wouldn’t be an issue.

Im looking at the 245s, how do you like the look of the 235s? Any pictures?

Been contemplating the hood struts just to have them, I see they are a pretty popular mod. I don’t open the hood a lot but I miss the convenience of pop no prop.

Love them, 100% worth it...do it!!
...though being in PA you may want to spring for the stainless steel since you get lots of salt in the winter I'm assuming

Not the best photo as the sun was going down. I saw a Big Bend a few months ago with 245s, just looked too big for my liking so happy with 235s.

Thanks! Those look really good on there.

The 235s looks good and I agree the 245s on the BB w/o the extra inch lift can look slightly disproportional, but on the BL I love my 245s. But yes those are a BIG step up over stock!!
